I loved the big "mustache rides" sign hanging by turn 7

I missed the sign

Gotta pay closer attention I guess

Happy for Brabham! AGR was looking quite good until right up to the end.

Loved the GT battles, 3 wide a few times, very exciting stuff.

the freaking Audis again. I was practicing black magic trying to get at least one of them off track

Guess that only works for me at Lime Rock

The no. 54 Ford GT gets mentioned whenever taking someone out. DeFerran's race was ruined by the no. 54.

yea, POS ford pickup truck. ALMS should adopt the old F1 107% rule... where if your qualifying time wasn't within 107% of the pole sitter you weren't aloud to race. That'll get rid of the POS Fords, Creation and any other slow pokes.

I hate the fact that you have drivers like Lord w/e in the AMV8 playing racecar driver, who takes out Frank Montagny. Im way bigger fan of Highcroft and DeFerran, but felt bad for AGR.

Porsche Ferrari battle was amazing. Go Porsche! Wish Petersen/White Lightning haden't split to add 2 more Ferrari's to the field. Also wish Alex Jobb hadn't left to race Grandam to have another 2 Porsches.

Hope Dyson racing gets the new Direct Injection engines for the next race.

I thought the Road America race was great but I was glad I taped it due to all the yellows. Love that track. Canada corner

is my favorite spot to watch it from. Turn 5 can also be interesting at times. Wish I could have been there. I can taste those brats.

I'm debating on going to the Detroit race. They say the views have improved a great deal since Roger put a lot of money into the track there. All I remember from the last time I was there was it was mud hole (it had rained a lot) and in typical city racing style you got see about 2 seconds of what was happening. Anyone been there in the past year or so?
